That's some pricey Wedia

I'd been keeping my mouth shut thinking that I was just exceedingly cheap, but others are questioning the high price tag of next week's We Media conference.

We're at a stage where I can't afford not to go; plus, I've got some other business in the Big Apple. But this was a big enough expense for a startup, that it took a long partners' discussion before I finally bit the bullet and registered.

But I'd feel a lot better about it if The Media Center would transparently explain why a one-day conference with (mostly?) free speakers held at the offices of the Associated Press costs $695.

Totally outrageous - maybe that's the price of the new "participation". Makes it v US-focused too when it could have been better than that - even the fellowships did not make it easy for non-US-based people to attend.

For a one-day conference, that's stunning. Personally, I wouldn't pay a nickel to listen to all those blowhards.
